Uma uthenga izicathulo zokuphepha eNingizimu Afrika, kungenzeka ukuthi usuwake wabona amagama athi NRCS, SABS kanye SANS 20345 esetshenziswa kakhulu. Awafani, futhi ukwazi umehluko kuvikela izinyawo zakho kanye nebhizinisi lakho ezinkingeni zokuthobela imithetho. Nansi inguqulo elula.
Kuyini ukugunyazwa kwe-NRCS?
I-National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) umzimba kahulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika ophoqelela izindinganiso zokuphepha eziyimpoqo. Izicathulo zokuzivikela ziwumkhiqizo olawulwayo, okusho ukuthi kufanele ngokomthetho uhlangabezane nokucaciswa okuyimpoqo ngaphambi kokuba uthengiswe. Lapho isicathulo sokuphepha "sigunyazwe yi-NRCS," umkhiqizi noma umngenisi unencwadi esebenzayo Letter of Authority (LOA) efakazela ukuthi umkhiqizo wahlolwa futhi uhlangabezana nezidingo. Ukungabi nayo i-LOA esebenzayo kusho ukuthi izicathulo akufanele ngokomthetho zibe semakethe.
Dlulisa amehlo ezicathulweni zethu zokuphepha ezigunyazwe yi-NRCS — isichathu ngasinye sisekelwa i-Letter of Authority esebenzayo.
Kuyini ukugunyazwa kwe-SABS?
I-South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) ibhala izindinganiso futhi isebenzisa uphawu lokulinganiswa lokuzithandela. Lapho ubona uphawu lwe-SABS, kusho ukuthi i-SABS yahlola ngokuzimela umkhiqizo futhi yaqinisekisa ukuthi uhambisana nesindinganiso esifanele. Isitifiketi se-SABS siwuphawu oluqinile, oluthembekile lwekhwalithi — luwuphawu lokuhambisana kunokuba kube ukugunyazwa ngokusemthethweni komlawuli kahulumeni.
Bona uhlu lwethu lwe-Steel Toe Cap Safety Boots, kuhlanganise namamodeli agunyazwe yi-SABS avela ezinkampanini ezithenjwayo.
I-SANS 20345 ingena kuphi?
I-SANS 20345 iyisindinganiso sangempela sezobuchwepheshe sezicathulo zokuphepha eNingizimu Afrika (ehambisana ne-ISO 20345 yamazwe ngamazwe). Ichaza ukuthi "izicathulo zokuphepha" kufanele zenze ini — okubaluleke kakhulu ikepisi lezinyawo elikwazi ukumelana nomthelela wama-200-joule. Isindinganiso siphinde sisebenzise izilinganiso zokuvikela ozizobona emabhokisini nakumalabula:
- SB — ukuphepha okuyisisekelo: ukuvikelwa kwezinyawo okungu-200J.
- S1 — SB kanye nesithende esivaliwe, izakhiwo ezilwa namandla kagesi kanye nesithende esimunca amandla.
- S2 — S1 kanye nokumelana nokungena nokumunca amanzi.
- S3 — S2 kanye nensiza yaphakathi engangeneki kanye ne-cleated outsole.
Steel toe vs composite toe
Zombili zivikela esindinganisweni esifanayo se-200J. Amakepisi we-steel toe aqinile, afakazelwe futhi athengekayo. Amakepisi we-composite toe (enziwe ngezinto ezifana ne-Kevlar noma i-fibreglass) alula, awanazo insimbi futhi awabambi ukushisa noma amakhaza — awusizo lapho imishini yokuthola insimbi noma ukushisa okwedlulele kuyinto ebalulekile. Khetha ngokusekelwe endaweni osebenza kuyo, hhayi nje intengo.
Ungathenga kanjani izicathulo ezihambisanayo ngokuzethemba
- Bheka i-LOA esebenzayo noma uphawu lwe-SABS — buza umphakeli uma kungashiwongo.
- Hlanganisa isilinganiso nomsebenzi — izindawo ezimanzi zidinga i-S2/S3; izingozi zokubhoboza zidinga insiza yaphakathi engangeneki.
- Qinisekisa ukuthi ihambelana kahle — ngisho nezicathulo eziqinisekisiwe zivikela kuphela lapho zihambelana kahle. Bona umhlahlandlela wethu wosayizi ngaphambi koku-oda.
- Thenga kumphakeli osekela ukuhambisana — i-Rambler Safety ithumela izicathulo eziqinisekisiwe ezweni lonke eNingizimu Afrika.
Usalokhu ungaqiniseki ukuthi yisiphi isindinganiso esidingeka emsebenzini wakho? Xhumana nathi futhi sizokusiza ukhethe ukuvikela okufanele.
